Your insurance covers your engine? I have geico full coverage and they don't cover my engine unless it was cause by a collision or stolen but not damaged like that.

I think if he has full coverage, flood would cover it. My friend hydrolocked his 335i, that was a $15,000 dollars repair bill that his insurance paid out.

Well to answer the question is no if everything is correct, then water can't get sucked into an inctercooler. Think about it. it's an airtight system. Only way it could is if a coupler was loose like orjinal ^^ said but that seems unlikey. It is possible that your intake got submerged if low enough.
To me - this sounds like two unrelated things like spinning a bearing or something especially how you said it was still idling.

If the pressure inside is higher than outside, a little air may leak out, not water leaking in. However, at low engine speeds you won't have boost so it's possible for their to be vacuum/negative gauge pressure. In this situation you can have water get sucked in to the system. How much gets sucked in versus how much is needed to cause hydrolock? I'm not sure.

this is like a meme picture....
Low sports car......big puddle....gets through....floors it for no reason knowing he could have sucked water up. Let me guess #yolo?
